Colonial Florist

My fiance purchased an arrangement for our anniversary and surprised me. My breath was completely taken away with how beautiful it was!! This was so beautiful and fresh! ❤

Words can't express how happy we were with the flowers for our daughters wedding. BEAUTIFUL! Unique and perfect. Donna is a joy to work with and truly made the day beautiful! I HIGHLY recommend this florist. Such a wonderful job!

Early on in our planning, we had considered doing our flowers ourselves. How hard can making a bouquet or vase arrangement be, right? But then the bride decided she wanted a cascading bouquet and we decided we wanted flowers on the arch at our ceremony site, neither of which we felt comfortable handling ourselves. We chatted with a bunch of florists in the area, getting quotes for just those items and for everything. One of the major reasons we ended up deciding on Colonial Florist was actually Donna’s attitude—she was willing to work with us to make our plans a success, even as we were still entertaining options like doing the setup ourselves to try to cut costs, while some other florists were dismissive or unwilling to even consider such options. Ironically, ultimately, the costs at Colonial Florist were reasonable enough that we ended up just having them do everything anyway!nnWorking with Donna was easy. She proposed a variety of flowers that she thought would fit with our general desires, so we could look them up and make sure they matched our vision. We also went into the store once and discussed everything, and we flipped through some catalogs to look at pictures and see if there were any additional flower types we might want. After that, it was hands off (other than confirming numbers) until the week before, when we delivered the wine bottles we planned to use as centerpiece vases.nnThe flowers turned out stunning, and the bride’s bouquet and the arch florals were perfect. Donna delivered everything early enough that we didn’t have to stress and could use the bouquets for first look and early bridal party photos. She even left a few complimentary extras for our baker to use on the cake. A lot of our flowers were brought home by guests and lasted for weeks! Definitely a pleasant experience.

We were very impressed with the florals for our wedding. I had a specific vision for my wedding and Donna listened and looked at my photos and helped create that vision. She was very helpful and responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process. Colonial Florist set up all the florals the day of my wedding perfectly and everything was so beautiful!

I strongly recommend Colonial Florists during these Carona Virus times. I was unable to attend a family funeral in Gordonsville, Virginia due to my home state of Hawaii being under a two week travel quarantine. Donna took care of everything. The floral arrangements Donna chose made a brilliant impression and matched my placement/ timing/ sympathy card specifications perfectly. Well done.
